The Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton, revealed that the left-handed pitcher is expected to Steven Brault start next Wednesday’s game for the Bucs. Brault, 29, has yet to launch in 2021 due to a forearm strain which he suffered at the end of spring training. Brault is also known for being the lead singer of a rock music group.
At the time, it was announced that they would shut him down for at least a month and he could miss up to 12 weeks with the injury, but the schedule turned out to be even longer than that:
Brault has spent the past few weeks on a minor league rehab assignment, pitching a total of 12 innings between Class A and Triple A as he begins to prepare to return to the Pirates. Steven has five MLB seasons since his 2016 debut, all with the Buccaneers.

He has thrown four innings in each of his last two outings, totaling 58 and 56 pitches in those pair of starts (and allowing only one earned run). He’s unlikely to jump from that point to 90-100 pitches in a single outing, but he could give the Pirates four or five innings if he’s reasonably efficient tomorrow.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in LÃnea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and after a few days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
